*Fr Bismarck releases ‘ kindness manifesto’* teamherald@ herald- goa. com PANJIM: Even as US President Barack Obama is rehearsing his “ Yes, we can” tinged speeches as he prepares to face US citizens after four years, Goa has nurtured its own “ Barack Obama” who taking a cue from his more powerful mentor has released his campaign on similar lines – ‘ Yes we can make a difference’. Catholic priest Fr José Bismarck Dias has begun fiercely campaigning albeit in a way that is different. Be it in releasing his ‘ manifesto of kindness’ through a ‘ earth kindness picnic’ at the iron ore mines of Sirigao or going about campaigning on a cycle, Dias is showing what it is to make a difference by being different. Living his words of being different even on the financial front, he has pledged to accept all contributions in ‘ white’ transactions and has disclosed his bank account number asking that people who support his cause to contribute to his Account No 6009464642 in the name of Jose Bismark D Dias at Indian Bank Panjim- Goa ( India), Local IFC code is “ IDIB000PO15’” and international code is IDIBINBBTSY.
